Tragedy generates unity

Two years ago, after teenage yeshiva students Naftali Fraenkel, Gil-Ad Shaer and Eyal Yifrah were kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists, the nation held its breath in hope and fear.

For 18 days, the families of the boys and the nation as a whole lived in uncertainty. The boys became not only the sons of their parents, but the sons of the nation. Unfortunately, the prayers were to no avail.
